The Daily Mirror has been looking at the online presence of various MPs: “It’s a fine line between being able to relate to the younger generation … and coming over like a ‘square’ father letting what’s left of his hair down. Here we log on and see how hip our MPs’ sites are”.

And the results?

1 out of 10: Ann Widdecombe
2 out of 10: David Cameron, Boris Johnson
4 out of 10: Gordon Brown
3 out of 10: Hazel Blears, John Redwood
5 out of 10: Tony Blair, Tessa Jowell
6 out of 10: Lembit Opik

and the top scorer is …

7 out of 10: Ming Campbell, whose Facebook profile (mentioned in the piece) is here.

It’s a pity you have to register with Facebook to see Ming’s page.

You cannot be both hip AND an MP. The two are mutually exclusive.
